CORRECTION: Looks like this lead singer/guitarist's name is mostly likely pronounced "SHEENA" (I'm now seeing it spelled this way in other videos). Thank you stefanlast for pointing this out.
There are no dipthongs in Japanese. "i" sounds like a short "ee". "e" sounds like "eh". Shiina would be the preferred spelling, pronounced "Sheena". Incidentally, "Ringo" (Apple) is her nickname. As a child, she supposedly blushed a lot, like a red apple and was nicknamed Ringo as a consequence, but she's also claimed that her favourite Beatle was Ringo and that's another reason for the name. Only she really knows. Pleased you enjoyed it. The entire 'Shouso Strip' album, from which this track comes, is a joy from beginning to end.
Yeah, it’s written either Shiina or Sheena in English. Don’t think most people take offense
Love that you reviewed her
@@theredwind I don't know how reliable this information is, but I've heard Shiina is trying to propagate that ("Sheena") spelling herself. Like how a lot of her songs have alternative French titles, she seems to be into foreign languages. Whether or not it's her that tried to make "Sheena" happen, it's not going to happen. (at least not for me) "Shiina" is a rather common surname and that's how it's typically spelled.
She made this song when she was 17 and still keep making beautiful songs for a quarter of a century.
No she wasn’t 17 dude, she was like 22-23
@@gyromitre1588No, she was actually 17 when she made the demo of the song.
@@gyromitre1588 Where does the information come from ?
She made this song when she was 17, and this song was released when she was 21.
I am her fan since high school, I am so happy you chose the best version of this song. She didn't write many love songs when she was young, this is the purest love song in her repertoire, this version's emotional expression is the most intense, and the kimono styling brings a kind of suppressed bitterness❤
That Electric Mole concert video this is from is 100% amazing. One of the best concert videos ever.
I have loved Shiina for a longggg time. She is excellent. She can cover so many different genres effortlessly and speaks several languages. Seeing her live is so awesome!! In her interviews she is very humble and sensitive. Just an incredible musical talent. So glad you found her!
Sheena and the Tokyo Jihen band have been at this for over twenty years - from Rock Chick, to Diva and legendary performer, who has composed concept albums, pop tunes, orchestral arrangements and soundtracks. All styles never resting. Always cool.
💯
Sheena and her band are musical geniuses..she mixes all styles at times in a single song, and practically every song is a diamond.
A lot of other artists i know and love made a few good albums, with her, everything is good..
She is a genius... incredible talent... and the band. And the volume of her work is staggering.
This band , every song is different from the next. The capture every genre in their music.
Some Japanese musician friends of mine that I recorded with last weekend highly suggested I check out Sheena Ringo. I have since immersed myself in her enchanting sound-world and I am totally captivated. Her second album Shosou Strip, which this song is from, is one of the best albums I have heard in a long time. What an artist, can't wait to hear more. Thanks for this. Nice Jellyfish reference by the way.
Shouso Strip is one of the best rock albums of all time. I've probably listened to it over 300 times.
@@ThePallidor I agree. I was lucky enough to buy almost her entire discography on eBay several months ago, such an amazingly cool artist. And so many cool live videos on TH-cam. I’ve become a huge fan of Japanese music over the past few years, seeing Band-Maid again in four days, and my band is recording with bass player Ichinose from Japan, so I am a very happy fan/musician. Shouso Strip is a great album of exemplary artistry. I love Glim Spanky too, obviously indebted somewhat to Shiina Ringo.
You just discovered a gem in music history. Imo the most creative and talented living artist. Everything she does (and she does a lot) is amazing, studio or live. I wish you could watch this entire show (called Electric Mole) from 2003, one of the greatest live performance I've seen. All her solo shows or with her band Tokyo Jihen (or Tokyo Incidents) are at the highest level on every aspects. Loved your reaction !
I’ve never heard of her and was totally surprised by how much I loved this tune. I definitely need to check out more!
@@StrateleStudios Great news... Someone just posted the whole dvd ! th-cam.com/video/9SOa8AooMRo/w-d-xo.html Enjoy while it's still online ! 😉
And all her "expo" shows too! I have many shows on dvd/bluray but not Electric Mole, I'll try to find it 👍
@@StrateleStudios she's huge! she's one of my favorite female artist ever, her creativity is incredible, she's like a mix of Kate Bush and David Bowie!
@@realdocloco I've got them all ! ☺ and I'm the lucky owner of the Limited edition of Electric Mole (book format) Shouldn't be easy to find even in regular edition ! Maybe a used one in a Book-Off store... I just shared above a link of the full dvd (hd format) that someone posted recently !
This was my first Shiina Ringo song, discovered exactly twenty years ago in my early teens from an alternative Asian music website. I've never looked back. She is truly in a class of her own.
Adding on, you can't go wrong with any of the tracks from Shoso Strip or Muzai Moratorium (her first two albums) nor some of the works from her group Tokyo Jihen.
her name is Sheena Ringo, she is one of the greatest artist from japan. you should cheak out her songs "Gamble", "Stem" and "Crime &Punishment "
'Stem' is a beauty.
I HARD second this
I’ll be darned. Didn’t expect alternative rock. Very cool. Absolutely loved that middle part! Was kinda hoping they would play that riff again in the end!! But it’s also nice to have it only once in a song.
they are incredible! I recently discovered this band and fell in love with them.
The thing I love about when reactors butcher her name is that it means it's a genuine first-time reaction lol
She's so brilliant. In other circumstances, let's say, she'd have all the Grammys, but it matters not. Most versatile female composer of all time - pop, rock, punk, jazz, edm, classical, samba, tango etc.
😂🤣😂 you are so right lol
@@StrateleStudios lol
think you'd definitely get a kick out of this - th-cam.com/video/sBzLZA1GsJ0/w-d-xo.html
Love the gold! I knew you’d love it too! Always a surprise! Thanks for your great reaction!❤🤗

Ringo Shiina, MISIA, Hikaru Utada is 90‘s good japanese female singer ！
Some time in the early years of this millennium I caught a glimpse of Shiina (I think it's pronounced Sheena, I've seen various spellings of her name) Ringo on TV and got curious. With all titles being in Japanese I had no idea what her songs were called, so I just randomly ordered one of her albums from eBay. She seems to have dipped her toes in several different styles of music, or at least incorporates bits of it into her own music. One of the tracks that I fell in love with was "Yokushitsu" (somewhere online I found the album's title and tracks written out in latin characters) which had a much more electronic touch. Apparently she often re-arranges/re-invents her songs when she playes them live. This live version of "Yokushitsu" is wild, and quite significantly more guitar-y: th-cam.com/video/-tgNbt59GUU/w-d-xo.html
Translation: "Bathroom", the other version of the song is titled "la salle de bain".
The most recent live version on her youtube is amazing. So many beats and layers.
Nice choice
Maybe Jeff Will be tempted to do some Soil & Pimp Sessions reaction after seeing that Sheena has collab with them in the past.
The video for this track is absolutely stunning. Been listening to her for over 20 years, truly an incredible musician.
Same, been a fan since 2001, this is an incredible video that got removed for a long time. Glad to see it back.
Thanks for doing this one. I didn't get a notification for it, but I was watching one of your other reactions (Lovebites), and I remembered our exchange, so I checked through your uploads, and lo and behold, here it is, a week after the fact. I won't say much because other people have had 7 days to do that already. She's pretty amazing though. There's no perfect starting point because she's so eclectic, so I figured this was as good as any. Glad you enjoyed it, and her guitar.
Such a great suggestion! Thank you! 😊😊😊🫶
The bassist on this video is the guy that arranges all of her songs, Kameda Seiji, has arranged also a song I wrote for a Japanese band called Do As Infinity. The guy is a freaking genius.
More reaction to shiina Ringo and her band Tokyo jihen’s live please:) thanks they are awesome!
Influenced by 'Just Missed the Train', but she upgraded it a hundred-fold.
As others have said, Sheena is the singer/rhythm guitarist in this performance, this song was her 5th single released in early 2000. Since '04 when she initially grew tired of purely being a solo artist she's also been part of the band Tokyo Jihen (Tokyo Incidents), though they had an 8yr hiatus from '12-'20 (partly down to the birth of her second child). In this video the bassist is Seiji Kameda from the Jihen, who has also been a long term collaborator who produced a lot of her early solo stuff.
Check out this single from their initial return from hiatus, the English song name is The Scarlet Alibi, though the literal translation of the Japanese title would be Proof of Eternal Absence (Sheena usually has official alternative English titles for Jihen songs). The video includes a million easter eggs from their older MVs, it does a decent job of highlighting the superb musicianship of every member and has a few twists & turns in the arrangement I find particularly satisfying: th-cam.com/video/zKBCSBfP9TI/w-d-xo.html

Nice one! I thought you might find it interesting to know that, as I understand, the English line “I wanna be with you” is meant to be:
“i 罠 B wiθ U” with the kanji there being pronounced as “wanna” but it’s meaning is “trap” so it’s a more complex line than it appears!
Admittedly I only know this because this song is referenced in the song “gives” by BiS (which is pronounced the same as “gips” in Japanese 😊
I recommend taking a look at that song for a future episode maybe! Thanks!
This is great thank you!
@@StrateleStudiosin their referencing the song, BiS further changed the lyrics which sound like “I wanna be with you” to: “哀 罠 美 with 憂 !!” translated literally to “sorrow, trap, beauty, with grief!!”
If you wanna take a look, here’s a nice performance at 1:04:08

Not what I expected to see on this channel. Between her and Tokyo jihen prepare for a lot of albums of awesome.
椎名 林檎, Shiina Ringo - She, her not they. Virtually a national treasure in Japan, 椎名 林檎 started way back in 1998. This song, correctly titled "Gip" was released as a single in 2000
🏳⚧💜🤘♀⚧♀🏳🌈🦘
You know, I've always thought 'Gips' too, but the spelling on the CD obi has it as ギブス, or 'Gibs'. So too does the official release of the MV on her youtube channel.This makes no sense to me, given that the title refers to plaster casts, made from gypsum, with a "p". Surely, it should be ギプス, or 'Gips'..............but it isn't.
The lyrics says
You always want take a picture of me.
I always hate that, becuase once I got into the picture, it will get older soon.
You always want to say 'absolutely.'
I always hate that, because once things become cool, even aboslute becomes a lie.
Don't you think so?
I wanna be with you
Just stay with me here
For ever and ever and ever.
Nobody knows what tomorrow would be like.
so hold me tight now
Stay and hold me tight now, darling.'
Over all. this song is about how ' I ' cherish this moment rather than tomorrow or yesterday.
Sounds a bit literature, but her select of the wording is a bit childish and girly.
Like, "gyu to shitete". which means hold me tight but adult mature woman won't say this way. So even lyrics ars bit philosophical, it still remains Kawaii girl song atmosphere.
just in case you didn't have time to look into the lyrics, she wrote this painful love song referred to Kurt Cobain and Courtney Love
Oh I didn’t not know that, thank you.
Sheena Ringo, the greatest of them all! Looking forward to more as a subscriber.
Do you have a favorite video from her you could share? 😊
@@StrateleStudios Thank you! It's so hard to choose, plus I'm unsure of the copyright rules for the different videos. But try this one and put on a helmet and braces.

I have too many favorite songs by her I couldn't possibly remember them all. But maybe consider reacting to:
Tsumi to Batsu (Crime and Punishment)
Marunouchi Sadistic
Akane Sasu Kiro Terasaredo... (When It Begins To Get Dark...)
Yami Ni Furu Ame (A Driving Rain In Darkness)
Yokushitsu (Bathroom)
Good choices. Shoso Strip is an album that works great listened all the way through.

この椎名林檎の２０年も昔の名曲が本当にいつか世界に見つかる日が来るのか？そろそろ不安になってきたよｗ
I miss Hirama so much
Please reaction fingerstyle guitars alipbata, cover Godfather theme
Shiina is pronounce Sheena.
WHAAT?! A demure creature with a wicked bad band. Soooo different and unexpected. Very enticing.
In my opinion, Miss shina at this time is the most sexy and cute.
自分が思うにこの時の林檎嬢が一番色気があってかわいい。
I will give you an easy song by Tokyo Jihen (Sheena Ringo) in English. Keep in mind the band likes to be "quirky" and have fun with what they preform. Tokyo Jihen Atarashii Bunmei kaika also called 'Brand New Civilization'
